Also, if you fly QF AKL-LAX then you can connect to the QF LAX-JFK flight. This is allowed. What's not allowed is to fly into LAX on anything other than a QF flight number (so you can't use the AA codeshare flight), or to stopover in LAX. You have to go international flight-(QF)-LAX-(QF)-JFK with no stopover in LAX, or vice versa. See the discussion at the end of this thread

The reason I lurk (and try to contribute) to Flyertalk is gems like this. Flying from AKL (rather than SYD) simplifies things for me AND I get QF metal to JFK AND I get an additional 120 BA tier points because the AKL-JFK will be two segments instead of the single SYD-JFK segment. Trifetca! Thanks Yellow77!
Oh well. AKL-LAX arrives LAX at 10:30. QF107 departs for JFK at 8:50.

Reason: realized it is not doable
